Reasons why men cheat but remain to live happily ever after

Every morning, especially during week days, marital woes and frustration are meted out in most popular radio shows. Women (mostly) complain about how their men are cheating on them at the slightest opportunity. The randomness of these affairs fits them in the category of dogs. The calls to these radio stations seem cheerful and the presenters satirically give consolation before proceeding to laugh at certain descriptions given by the ‘hurt’ women. They also express their shock at how some women are not even considering separating from such lecherous men. In fact some have accepted these men as they are.

Polygamy has been part of many African communities for centuries. Some religions have also had to confront and explain why polygamy is wrong given that most characters in their scripture were polygamous. Most of our grandfathers have more than one wife. Some women are second or third wives and are proud, so that they have even made peace with their co-wives to “share” their husband as equitably as they can.
